Why won't my puppy potty outside and keeps having accidents inside?

Question

Hi.... I’m in the help of potty training.. Sadie likes to do her business in the house. She continues to. I’ve tried getting her to go out and potty ever 45mins -1 hour. She goes outside and just lays down or sits there. She wont potty. And when she does her business in the house how can I discipline her to get her to learn not to do it anymore??

Sadie is precious. First remember that she is still VERY young. At only 2 months old, there is still several weeks that she needs to learn. I usually expect puppies to sometimes take until they are 5-6 months old to be completely potty trained. If you aren't already, I would crate train her as this seems to be the quickest method. I will leave a link below with more details. If you are already doing this, you could try the potty pads to see if this helps and slowly move the pads closer and closer to the door. But most importantly be patient with her. She will learn with time and consistency. https://www.petco.com/content/petco/PetcoStore/en_US/pet-services/resource-center/new-pet/Puppy-and-Dog-Crate-Training.html https://www.petco.com/content/petco/PetcoStore/en_US/pet-services/resource-center/behavior-training/Tips-and-Tricks-for-Housetraining-a-Puppy-or-Dog.html
